Finance presenter Alan Kohler has been a familiar face on ABC News for 31 years. This week, he will deliver his final finance report. Kohler reflects on covering the 1998 waterfront dispute and laments that he completely missed the significance of the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount, which set off 25 years of a nation-altering surge in house prices. He leaves us with a prediction: the next 31 years will bring much more change than the last 31.
